I have a 2.5L block and I can say from experiance that it's an awesome thing to see the sleeve job up close and personal. It's well finished, and is a rock solid fit with the short block. (BTW the pistons are F'N huge compaired to stock)
As for performace.... I'd go so far as to say it have all of the bottom end that the S2K should of had in the first place. (Great torque at low to mid RPM's) hence the acceleration is very sweet indeed. (What the S2K should of have in the first place)
Just be forwarned though, that this isn't a casual project by any means. During the install you'll need to add a set of 575cl injectors, a fuel management system of some kind, and maybe a wideband O2 sensor. If your going to have it done, pay a professional tuner to have it done right the first time! (Well worth it IMO, for the piece of mind).
Another important thing is that the warranty and support at Inline is very good... Just yesterday, I called in to see if they could nab me a new starter. (My solenoid died an untimely death during a tuning session... dam the luck
) Inline took on my request and located a new replacement for me! With any luck it should be here in a few weeks... (I'm in Italy, so my mail is painfully slow)
